Finding a supplier is only the first step in sourcing from China.
Many buyers discover critical issues only after placing an order. For example, products intended for the European market may need to meet specific regulations, safety standards, and compliance requirements. Depending on the product category, this may involve CE marking, relevant EN standards, or other market access requirements.
If a supplier cannot provide valid and applicable compliance documents, products may face problems during customs clearance, market entry, or sales. Resolving these issues after production is completed can result in higher costs and greater losses.
